This book has been issued as a facsimile reprint by Genealogical Publ. Co.,  Baltimore, MD, and by Southern Historical Press, Greenville, SC.  If you are considering buying one of the facsimile editions, be sure to get the one from GPC.  The one from SHP is bound too tightly with very narrow margins; it's almost unusable. 

The original test was one long paragraph.  I have broken it into smaller paragraphs for improved readability.  Additions [in brackets] are mine.
